A 650-tonne roof truss is being lifted over Liverpool FC’s Anfield stadium as the development of the ground continues.
A huge crane will lift the giant truss above the stadium and place it onto two towers either side of the famous Main Stand.
The club says the operation, which began at 6am, will see Anfield’s redevelopment reach a major milestone.
The lift operation is scheduled to take a full day to complete and follows months of detailed planning by Carillion, the club’s construction partner.
“We embarked on this significant expansion project just seven months ago and today we’re lifting the Main Stand’s new truss and marking another incredible chapter in the club’s history.” – IAN AYRE, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF LIVERPOOL FC
